Flexible electronic displays and touch screens are increasingly used in demanding outdoor environments. Design engineers are challenged to develop optical systems that meet a wide thermal range (-55° to + 85° C) and comply with diverse optical, electrical and mechanical parameters. This paper discusses the optical and mechanical properties of substrates and thin and thick film coatings used in ...

Unlike traditional over-the-phone spoken dialog systems (SDSs), modern dialog systems tend to have visual rendering on the device screen as an additional modality to communicate the system’s response to the user. Visual display of the system’s response not only changes human behavior when interacting with devices, but also creates new research areas in SDSs. Onscreen item identification and res...

Traditional desktop workstations are inherently limited in the amount of information displayed and the interaction techniques afforded due to their small size. Large screen displays with high resolution provide the screen real estate to solve these problems, but simply increasing the size of a display can create new problems if the interaction methods do not scale appropriately. We propose to i...

Peter Parente: Clique: Perceptually Based, Task Oriented Auditory Display for GUI Applications. (Under the direction of Gary Bishop.) Screen reading is the prevalent approach for presenting graphical desktop applications in audio. The primary function of a screen reader is to describe what the user encounters when interacting with a graphical user interface (GUI). This straightforward method al...

In this paper, we consider the problem of 3D virtual reality content real-time project on hemispherical screen. The developed hemispherical screen is 1.2 meters in diameter and screen’s shape covers 180 degrees of the vertical and horizontal planes, provides all-encompassing image space for virtual reality simulation. Display equipment of system adopts two high definition front-projectors and u...

Modular Ambient Display boxes provide a modular high-resolution display system that makes experimentation with the physical configuration of the display surfaces relatively simple. MAD Boxes have flush floated rearprojection screens that cause a mere 2 mm inter-screen gap. They can be stacked and reorganized into many possible configurations.

We compared two types of electronic displays of battlefield information in order to determine how display frame of reference affects a military commander's situation awareness and diagnostic capabilities in a dynamic combat scenario. US Military Academy officers viewed an unfolding ground battle scenario, presented as a sequence of computer-based slides, in one of two display view conditions. T...

As computing performance and network technology have evolved, mobile device users can enjoy high quality multimedia more easily. Remote Display the technology which mirrors the screen of one device to another device allows handheld mobile devices to share their screen contents with larger-sized display devices such as TVs. However, there is general concern about high power consumption caused by...

We compare two different modes of interaction with a large stereoscopic display, where the physical pointing device is in a volume distinct from the display volume. In absolute mode, the physical pointer’s position exactly maps to the virtual pointer’s position in the display volume, analogous to a 2D graphics table and 2D screen. In relative mode, the connection between the physical pointer’s ...

The viewing zone of a multi-view autostereoscopic display can be shown to be completely determined by four parameters: the width of the screen, the optimal distance of the viewer from the screen, the width over which an image can be seen across the whole screen at this optimal distance (the “eye box” width), and the number of views. A multi-view display’s viewing zone can thus be completely des...
